[Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 200000 miners

[patrike]

umm, you can add that to the profit profile specifically for sgminer (and forks)

also, you need to specify the correct number, 0, 1 or 2 for the --gpu-platform, it's rig specific.

check sgminer --help for details.

***
worst come to worst, just use command line and mine to someone else's address using examples for starters, there you should see all the error messages in the console. of course, if you are familiar with command line, then just replace the command, addresses as you see fit. Else, consider it a tiny donation.

Was trying to set it for the Managed Software but it would not take. Going into each device profile and having to add it is not ideal, but can work for now.

It runs, but still does not coy the benchmark result back to the test page for saving to the profile. Hum ...

Thank you.

Is the scenario that the mining software window is opened and that you can see that it's hashing, but once completed, the hashrate isn't showing up in the benchmark window?

Awesome Miner version 5.4.5 (Development preview of 5.5) is now available. It's a smaller update to the previous development version that address issues related to:
- Configuration not received correctly for Remote Agent on Linux
- Execution of rules based on failed process trigger corrected, to prevent blocking user interface updates
- T-Rex miner launched again (a second instance) after restarting Remote Agent

The problem with the calculators is that they are based on what you are getting right now this instant. So if you are just an individual mining on a small scale you probably can't take advantage of the swings up before they swing back down and you've wasted time mining at lower profit.

I'd pick 3 or 4 coins you think are good and set up the auto switch to only do those ones.

Can confirm that T-Rex was found already mining after update.

It would be nice to get these updates in for 4.6, but also could Cryptonight be enabled for CryptoDredge? Right now it won't show up in the benchmark for several algos that Dredge (and other miners, iirc) support.

[Finnsk3]

Anyone else have Awesome Miner not report revenue?

As you can see here:
http://stats.finnsk3.com/am.png

It's also not just nicehash, I have seen miningpoolhub also report $0 for some algos.

Any ideas? it's ruining all my stats

[Regulater]

Anychance you can add the cuda 9.2 version of Enemy Miner instead of only the Cuda 9.1. Supposedly Cuda 9.2 version is slightly faster.

Just change the url in managed software

Well i could download it too and upload to all my rigs, but was hoping it could be implemented so i dont have to do it everytime.

Correct.

Can you please send me your log file by mail and indicate the time of the issue. I can then review the command line Awesome Miner used to launch the mining software in benchmark mode to see if there are any issues there.

Was it only sgminer benchmark that didn't work as expected or was it any other mining software as well that failed? Is Sgminer working fine when when you use it outside the benchmark, at show up with hashrate in the list of miners in Awesome Miner?

Thanks for your comments on this. I found out that the permission on the file AwesomeMiner.RemoteAgent.Linux wasn't set with executable flag after the upgrade. If you manually do chmod 755 on this file it should start fine after the upgrade.

Please note that even if I correct this upgrade issue in the next release, it will not be until you upgrade to the next-next release the new upgrade changes will be used.

The reason why Cuda 9.1 is included by default for the moment is that all users are not running with the latest drivers. In the past when Ccminer changed to a later Cuda version, I had quite a number of upset e-mail messages about that the mining didn't start (due to old GPU drivers).

The plan is of course to move to the Cuda 9.2 versions later on.

The most recent version of Awesome Miner is presenting the GPU driver versions on the Summary tab, and I've been thinking of using this information to give warnings if too old GPU drivers are being used.

Thanks for the feedback!

Please check the following:

1) For nicehash, please check Options dialog, Online Services section, and make sure the "Nicehash domain matching field" uses the default value nicehash.com and nothing else.
2) For the entries on this page, also check that the profit factor is set to 1 (or at least not 0).
3) Are the correct information showing up on the Online Services tab in Awesome Miner?

In the next release of Awesome Miner that is about to be released, the new CryptoDredge and Z-enemy miners will be included. For CryptoDredge, the Cryptonight based algorithms will also be enabled by default.

For the benchmark, please also note that the only algorithms listed are those where you have a pool enabled for the profit switcher (see Options dialog, Profit Switching section)

Hello Patrike,
I wanted to talk again about the possibility of saving power used by graphic cards when benchmarking.
You already stated that it would be possible only with compatible miners.
But would it be possible for AM to look at those values directly whatever mining software is used ? As software like Hardware Monitor or GpuZ....

This feature is not yet implemented. Either it can be supported by getting the power usage via nvidia-smi or via some of the mining software. The benefit of using nvidia-smi is that it's independent of mining software being used.

What the latest version of Awesome Miner support is an improved "Save hashrate" feature for a running miner, where it also can save the power usage to the profile.
